Darren Dreger

February 4th is the trade freeze.

So are you anticipating deals before...

The freeze dregs?

I mean, I guess anything's possible, but how many teams are like, well, we'll just get there, let it breathe, and figure it out afterwards?

CJ, in terms of the Leafs, everyone's trying to get a read on what happens here.

Do they try to buy?

Could they become sellers?

Do they stand pat?

What do they do with McMahon and Lawton, etc.?

What is your read on when we might get an answer on that and how much is actually on the table for the Leafs in terms of both ends of the spectrum, buying and going in and trying to make it or being full-blown sellers and realizing this isn't your year?

Let's see tonight.

Okay.

A message got through.

At what point, though, and CJ, you can jump in first, Dregs.

We can go around the table.

Do they...

can they no longer live in a world where they don't have assets?

And that's where I wonder if sometimes you've got to take advantage of acute moments in the schedule to accumulate those, even though it's not comfortable.

And you look at it, you might be able to trade some pieces and get back in the game in the summer if that player comes up.

Yes, the right shot defenseman isn't there right now.
